F***** mindless idiots broke into the van Thursday night. Smashed the door lock, ripped the plastic cowling of the steering column. They left a piece of slab on the drivers seat but that was it :? they stole nothing! On the same night they stole an Escort van and broke into an LDV. With Northamptonshire Police Being one of the worst Police forces in the country they turned up within an Hour of me reporting it. Unfortunately SOCO Had nothing to go on. Ive spent out about £100 on an alarm complete with microwave sensor and warn away add on awesome!! :D

The mircowave sensor can detect when people get close to the vehicle and warn them that it is alarmed, I've got one for mine but have never fitted it. The one I have gives them 2 warnings that the vehicle is alarmed then activates the alarm, not that anybody pays any attention.

I was told that this wouldn't work on my van properly and would only protect the front window areas :? :? :?

Yeah quite right, doesn't like metal. That's why I fitted door switches and never bothered fitting the microwave sensor.
